Women-only commuter rail cars in service

JAPAN -- The first women-only carriage on a morning commuter train in Tokyo went into service Monday as part of efforts to cut the incidence of sexual harassment. Japan East Railway Co. introduced trains with the women-only cars on the JR Saikyo Line, known as a route with a high incidence of groping during the morning rush hours. Ten private railways and subways in the Tokyo metropolitan area will follow suit on May 9. On the windows of the carriage were pink stickers that read "For women only."

Yeah I've been on the trains here and there's so many people in a car at peak hours, you'd just have to move you hand five inches and you're touching someone. This is why they made those trains, so during rush hours horny guys don't go touching all over the women on the train that are so close to them.
